The Trilogy of A*PISS*PASS

Earlier, I've discussed that there are 3 factors that determine the weighting of your 3 major income sources (investments, business and job). These are:

Age
PISS (Primary Income Source Stream)
Passion

Let's discuss the first factor - AGE.

In life, there is something else that's certain besides death and taxes. It's growing old.

Age after age, we learn to play different roles. From the bread eater of your family to the bread winner of your new family. We go through different stages. In general, I'd like to think that the years after college can be grouped into Four (4) Major Stages. Life being a stage, I'd like to use that analogy for referencing our life stages.

These stages start at the point where you've begun working or doing business. For purposes of simplicity. Let's assume the age of 22 as the start of that new path.

I'd like to view these life stages as -

Curtain Raiser
The Show
Curtain Call
The Final Curtain

I'll discuss them one by one.
